This deep fryer is designed for household use only. Before first use, ensure all packaging is removed, and the oil tank and basket are cleaned and dried thoroughly. Always operate on a flat, heat-resistant surface and keep the appliance at least 4 inches away from walls. Never use the appliance to boil water.
Getting to know your deep fryer
The unit features a stainless steel housing, a removable frying basket with a handle, a lid with a viewing window and odor filter, and a temperature dial with PREHEAT and READY indicator lights. The power cord is a detachable magnetic type for safety.
Assembling the frying basket handle
The handle is shipped in the storage position. To assemble: hold the arms of the handle inside the frying basket, squeeze them to fit into the eyelets, and push the handle against the back of the basket until it locks into place.
Operating instructions
- Place the appliance on a clean, dry, flat surface.
- Remove the frying basket and pour 1.5 liters (6 cups) of cooking oil into the tank, ensuring the level is between the MIN and MAX marks.
- Set the temperature dial to MIN.
- Connect the magnetic power cord to the appliance (ensure THIS SIDE UP is facing up) and plug into a 120V AC outlet.
- Turn the dial to the desired temperature and wait 7-10 minutes for preheating.
- Once the READY light illuminates, place food in the basket, lower it into the oil, and close the lid.
- When cooking is complete, lift the basket using the handle, hook it to the rim to drain for 5-10 seconds, and remove the food.
Care and cleaning
Always allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning. The frying basket and lid are dishwasher-safe. To remove the lid for cleaning, open it to a 20-degree angle and pull the lid pin up and out of the hinge. Never immerse the appliance housing in water. Use a stiff nylon brush to clean the oil tank with hot, soapy water.
Helpful hints
- Fry smaller batches for better results.
- Pat food dry before frying to prevent oil spattering.
- Do not mix different types of oil.
- Do not add salt or spices to food while it is frying or draining.
- Label oil containers with the type of food previously fried to avoid flavor transfer.
